Just heard on radio that Obama will be addressing the nation tonight with little notice given. Wonder what the urgency is that it can not wait until tomorrow. Perhaps talking about Libya and the murdering he helped with ?

When is the last time a sitting President had to announce something to the nation at a random time (10:35 PM)?

Even the 9-11 attacks had Bush giving a statement around 8 PM.

Did they kill Gaddahfi? Capture Bin Laden?

The president and his national security team have quietly instructed the CIA to intensify its efforts to hunt down, capture, or kill Osama bin Laden. In 1975, the government of South Vietnam collapsed soon after the withdrawal of American troops. ...

Let's not forget we made Osama Bin laden the man he is. We propped him up. And we lost trillions of dollars, and thousands of servicemen and woman to stop him. Also, if this doesn't stop the wars then its for no good use. End the wars. The death of OBL does not impress me unless we see real action following it.
